how could anyone have a problem with this? Outside of not being there with your team, that article got it right I think. It's his choice and that's what's great about this country.

Did you not read this?

He's also the only American on the team. So the sole American is the one refuses to meet his president. He's turning a non-political event (let's face it, every title team in every sport gets an invite - the only person I can think of who turned it down was James Harrison, and that was on truly bizarre "you don't invite the losers too" grounds) and turning it into a political event. Which is a shame. This is one of those "acts of state" not "acts of government". He's being a douchenozzle and making it all about himself, reportedly over his teammates objections.

We'll see what happens when the A's win it all this season.

I would think that this alone would be sufficient enough reason to get yourself there - in the context of celebrating a championship you are there to visit the POTUS, regardless of their name or politics. Learn and know time and place and class.

+1. I could care less if anyone chooses to go the white house or not.
